St.  Valentine  Entertains 

The  conventional  color  for  St.  Valentine's  Day  is  red, 
but  the  introduction  of  another  color  is  sometimes  charm- 
ing and  if  it  is  a  little  daring  and  out  of  the  ordinary  it  may 
be  just  as  significant  of  the  day. 

jl  Why  not  venture  away  from  the 

rQ.  customary    colors    and   combine 

red  with  old  rose  or  even  use 
light  pink  with  red? 

A  table  decorated  with  fringe  is 
most  effective  and  at  the  same 
time  easy  to  arrange.  Fringe  is  cut  as  described  on  page  29.  The  strips  are 
cut  and  fastened  in  place,  after  which  the  top  is  finished  with  loops  of  crepe 
paper  rope.  The  lower  edge  is  then  cut  in  rounding  points.  Festoons  and 
Cut-outs  V  223  complete  the  overhead  decoration. 

Three  cardboard  hearts  covered  with  ruffles  attached  to  large  gold  arrows 
make  the  centerpiece.  Heart  Cut-out  V  223  and  Arrows  V  241  form  the 
nut  cup  and  the  cigar  holder  is  made  using  Heart  and  Arrow  V  228.  A 
"beating  heart"  favor  is  really  a  penny  "cricket"  inside  a  double  crepe  paper 
heart.  A  place  card  may  be  attached  if  desired.

A  Luncheon  Table  Gay  with  Hearts 


Bright  red  hearts  with  white  and  gold  wings  (Cut-outs  V  244)  attached  to 
miniature  streamers  are  fastened  to  the  festoon  decorations  and  flutter  gaily 
over  this  dainty  Cupid  table. 

The  Jack  Horner  pie  is  made  by  fastening  very  full  double  ruffles  around  a 
foundation  of  cardboard  and  a  Cupid  cut  from  Decorated  Crepe  V  461  swings 
from  the  handle.  The  same  crepe,  V  461,  supplies  the  border  around  the  table. 

Three  Cut-outs  V  243  are  pasted  around  a  small  serving  cup  form. 

The  shades  which  are  used  on  the  bracket  lights  at  the  sides  of  the  room  are 
made  of  the  heart  silhouette  which  is  found  on  Decorated  Crepe  V  462.  The  de- 
sign is  cut  out  and  reinforced  around  the  edges  with  wire  or  light  weight  card- 
board. An  asbestos  ring  is  fastened  in  place  and  the  shade  may  be  made  as  a 
screen,  or  two  designs  may  be  pasted  together  with  an  opening  at  the  top.

When  Hearts  Are  Trumps 

Ten  days  or  two  weeks  before  St.  Valen- 
tine's Day  the  invitations  for  the  card  party 
should  be  sent  out.  Daintily  printed  ones 
such  as  V  16  or  V  19  may  be  purchased  ready 
to  fill  in,  or  if  something  more  individual  is 
wanted  they  may  be  made  from  cut-outs, 
seals  or  designs  printed  on  crepe  paper  or 
napkins. 

To  make  the  invitations 
pictured  Cut-out  V236  is 
pasted  on  an  elongated 

heart-shaped  card,  while  the  Cupid  found  on  Napkin  V  412 
and  Cut-out  V  223  give  the  motif  for  another  attractive 
design.  Real  valentines  will  make  appropriate  invitations. 
Valentine  Outfit  V  3  will  furnish  material  for  one  dozen 
valentines. 

The  numbering  of  the  tables  may  be  made  part  of  the 
decoration  by  using  cardboard  hearts  attached  to  flag 
sticks  or  heavy  wire  and  finished  with  ruffles  of  red  crepe 
paper  and  a  Cupid  cut  from  Decorated  Crepe  Paper  V  462. 
Simple  score  card  folders  are  decorated  with  Cut-out  V  243, 
while  tiny  pencils  make  an  ideal  foundation  on  which  to 
make  the  "arrow." 

An  appropriate  prize  would  be  a  heart-shaped  pendant 
made  of  sealing  wax  decorated  with  flowers. 

When  the  refreshments  are  served  the  tables  are 
spread  with  White  Table  Covers  No.  1,  to  which     g* 
are  pasted  Cupids  and  hearts  found  on  Crepe  V  461.    vS^ 

Heart-shaped  bags  may  contain  a  tiny  cake  or 
a  few  bon  bons.

Valentine  Decorations  for  Society  or  Club  Banquet 

The  long,  narrow  tables  which  are  almost  always  used  for  club  or  society  ban- 
quets are  difficult  to  arrange  in  any  way  that  will  make  them  look  different. 

If  the  number  of  people  to  be  served  is  not  too  large,  the  tables  may  be  arranged 
to  form  a  hollow  square.  This  arrangement,  of  course,  will  permit  the  seating  of 
only  about  one-half  the  number  that  could  be  accommodated  if  places  were  set 
on  both  sides  of  the  table. 

Table  Covers  V  219  are  used  on  the  tables.  If  for  any  reason  it  is  not  practical 
to  use  them,  the  regular  white  cloth  may  be  used  and  one  of  the  designs  of  deco- 
rated crepe  attached  to  the  inside  edge  of  the  tables.  The  top  of  the  tables  should 
then  have  a  narrow  runner  design  on  the  top  at  the  inner  edge. 

Above  each  table  is  hung  a  large  red  heart  cut  from  mat  stock.  The  center  is 
cut  out  and  a  Cupid  V  253  suspended  in  the  opening,  while  narrow  red  streamers 
from  the  point  of  the  heart  to  the  corners  of  the  table  and  pendant  hearts  complete 
the  decoration. 

Large  hearts  are  suspended  from  the  tops  of  the  posts  at  the  points  where  the 
overhead  festoons  are  fastened,  and  banners  brighten  the  plain  wall  spaces. 

There  are  many  table  accessories  which  serve  at  the  same  time  as  decorations 
and  favors.  Place  cards,  cut-outs  for  ices,  bon  bon  boxes,  party  caps — any  of 
these  may  be  purchased  ready  for  use  and  will  add  a  bit  more  color  to  the  deco- 
rative effect.

What  Cupid 
Suggests 
for  the  Bride 


The  little  "Love  God"  plays  a  prominent  part  in  many  affairs  besides  those  of 
St.  Valentine's  Day.  All  the  suggestions  for  that  day,  however,  may  be  carried 
out  with  equal  appropriateness  for  engagement  announcement,  bridal  shower  or 
luncheon. 

If  an  engagement  is  to  be  announced,  a  Cupid  and  rose  bon  bon  basket  at  each 
place  hides  the  interesting  secret  between  two  hearts  half  concealed  among  the 
foliage.  The  "Old  Woman  with  a  Basket"  place  card,  made  of  Cut-out  V  235 
fastened  to  a  Heart  V  223,  carries  her  news  tightly  folded  up  and  slipped  through 
a  slit  in  her  basket. 

For  a  "shower"  nothing  can  take  the  place  of  a  parasol.  The  question  of  a 
foundation  is  something  of  a  problem,  but  if  one  is  made  of  heavy  wire  similar  to 
the  diagram,  the  problem  is 

already  solved.     Around  the       ^^^^j^^^^  Individual  parasol  serving

A  Banquet  for  a  Patriotic  Holiday 

It  is  surprising  how  many  holidays  call  for  red,  white  and  blue  decorations, 
and  in  addition  to  the  calendar  holidays  many  affairs  conducted  by  various 
organizations  also  demand  a  patriotic  color  scheme. 

Almost  all  of  these  parties  are  for  a  large  number  of  people 
and  to  those  who  are  "on  the  committee"  usually  falls  the  work 
of  making  favors  and  putting  up  the  decorations. 

Therefore,  they  must  be  effective  and  at  the  same  time 
quickly  made  and  easily  arranged. 

Tiny  cups  for  holding  nuts  or  candies  which  have  a  cover  made 
of  a  single  flower  are  very  simple  to  make  and  if  red  poppies 
and  white  daisies  alternate  at  each  place  and  stand  on  a  narrow 
runner  of  dark  blue  a  color  scheme  and  a  way  of  presenting  a 
souvenir  are  achieved  at  the  same  time.  The  flowers  may  have 
a  pin  attached  at  the  back  so  that  they  can  be  easily  worn  when 
leaving  the  table. 

Similar  effect  may  be  gained  by  using  the  flowers  made  on 
spiral  stems  to  stand  at  each  place.    The  stem  may  be  easily 
straightened  out  after  the  banquet  and  the  flower  adorn  the 
buttonhole.      They  may  also  help  to  identify  those   entitled   to   dance   or 
0  enter  the  entertainment  hall. 

Metal  rim  or  a  plain  round  tag  strung  with  fine  red  crepe 
paper  rope  or  a  narrow  red,  white  and  blue  ribbon  numbered 
on  one  side  and  decorated  with  a  patriotic  seal  on  the  other, 
will  often  be  just  what  is  needed  for  affairs  of  this  sort,  act- 
ing both  as  admission  ticket  and  souvenir.

Centerpieces  and  Decorations  for  Patriotic  Days 


The  tree  stump  with  its  hatchet  and 
cherries  is  typically  a  centerpiece  for 
Washington's   Birthday  and   may  be 
made  more  attractive  if  surrounded  by  red,  white  and  blue  ruffles. 

A  unique  napkin  holder  is  obtained  by  fastening  two  Hatchets  P  262  together 
with  Seals  P  430  and  slipping  a  tightly  rolled  cherry  design  napkin  between  the 
two  handles. 

A  menu  or  score  card  folder  carries  a 
Seal  P  557  in  the  center  of  the  top,  while 
two  Flags  P  274  fly  gaily  on  either  side. 


Page  eight 


The  log  cabin  is  a  most  appropriate  design 
for  Lincoln's  Birthday.  Brown  crepe  paper  is 
rolled  to  resemble  the  logs  which  make  both 
the  centerpiece  and  nut  cup.  Lincoln  Seals 
P  611  used  on  score  or  place  card  will  help  to 
carry  out  the  spirit  of  the  day. 

Suitable  for  any  patriotic  holiday  is  the  red, 
white  and  blue  basket.  The  lower  part  is  cov- 
ered with  dark  blue  and  white  ruffles,  while  red 
poppies,  white  daisies  and  a  large  red  bow 
complete  this  colorful  basket  which  may  have 
small  favors  attached  to  narrow  ribbons  con- 
cealed in  its  fluffy  depths. 

Miniature  baskets,  too,  of  similar  design 
and  color  made  on  serving  cup  forms,  will  com- 
plete a  wonderfully  attractive  table  decoration.

The  Glorious  Fourth 

The  Fourth  of  July  would  be  indeed  a  dull  day  without 
sports,  games,  gay  parades  and  parties. 

"Johnnie  Firecracker"  himself  furnishes  the  theme  for  the 
table  decoration  shown.  Red  mat  stock,  crepe  paper  and 
wire  are  the  materials  from  which  he  is  made. 

Smaller  "Johnnies"  are  performing  all  kinds  of  funny  antics 
perched  on  the  nut  cups,  and  lollypops  with  firecracker  hats 
make  favors  which  also  serve  as  place  cards.  Around  the  table 
Decorated  Crepe  Paper  P  25  is  used,  the  field  with  its  stars  at 
the  top  and  the  red  strips  cut  in  pennant  shape  flying  below  it. 

We  must  all  be  children  in  spirit  on  this  day,  so  favors  for 
the  children  can  be  used  for  the  grown-ups  as  well.  Small  fans 
of  cardboard  made  in  star  shape  and  covered  with  red,  white 
and  blue  crepe  paper  will  be  acceptable  for  the  girls,  and  the 
boys,  big  and  little,  can  have  fun  with  tricolor  pin  wheels 
attached  to  clothes  pins. 

Another  way  to  use  a  lollypop  is  in  the  shape  of  a  fire- 
cracker candy  box.  It  is  very  simple  to  make  as  is  also  the 
star  serving  cup.  The  serving  cup  form  is  covered  with 
ruffles  of  red,  white  and  blue.  A  star  made  of  mat  stock  cov- 
ered with  silver  paper  which  has  the  center  cut  out  is  slipped 
up  and  fastened  in  place  just  below  the  flaring  ruffles.

Shamrock  Table 


St.  Patrick's  Day,  March  17,  brings  an  entirely  different  thought  in  both 
color  scheme  and  design.  Shamrock  green  and  white  always  make  a  pleasing 
decoration,  while  the  shamrocks  themselves,  gold  harps,  Irish  lads  and  las- 
sies in  typical  costumes  furnish  the  foundation  around  which  many  attractive 
decorations  are  built. 

For  the  table  use  a  plain  white  paper  table  cover  and  across  it  place  run- 
ners made  of  Green  Crepe  Paper  No.  43  and  cut  into  shamrock  leaves  at  the 
ends. 

The  centerpiece  or  Jack  Homer  pie  is  made  of  gathered  ruffles  over  a 
cardboard  foundation.  A  wire  handle  is  bent  in  the  shape  of  a  shamrock  leaf 
and  decorated  with  Cut-outs  S  271,  to  which  are  pasted  faces  painted  on  white 
cardboard  discs. 

The  nut  cups  are  made  in  similar  design  and  Seal  S  602 
supplies  the  shamrock  and  face  for  the  handle. 

A  napkin  holder  of  unusual  design  is  made  of  a  piece  of 
green  mat  stock  eight  inches  by  three  inches.  It  is  scored 
and  bent,  then  Cut-outs  S  288  and  S  289  are  pasted  one  on 
either  side.  The  holder  is  then  ready  for  the  tightly  rolled 
napkins. 


Page  i  fii 


Over  the  chandelier  is  a  soft  fringe  of  green  crepe  paper  to  which  Cut-outs 
S  270  and  S  271  are  fastened  at  irregular  intervals. 

The  candle  shade,  which  is  made  on  a  triangular  foundation  of  cardboard, 
carries  out  the  same  effect  as  the  chandelier  and  may  be  either  green  or  white. 

Another  centerpiece  which  is  as  attractive  as  the  one  shown  on  the  table 
is  in  the  form  of  a  shamrock  bed.  Funny  plump  lad  and  lassie  flirt  with 
each  other  over  its  top. 

Over  a  round  foundation  of  cardboard  are  pasted  rows  of  twisted  green 
petals  and  the  figures  and  large  shamrock  are 
cut  from  Decorated  Crepe   S  655   reinforced 
with  heavy  wire  and  fastened  in  place. 

To  complete  the  table  decoration  is  a 
"Paddy"  favor  whose  head  is  a  lollypop  and 
his  legs  and  arms  candy  sticks.  In  place  of 
the  favor  a  bon  bon  cup  may  be  used.  A 
pretty  serving  cup  which  also  serves  as  a  place 
card  is  made  by  covering  a  plain  form  with  a 
double  ruffle  of  green  crepe  paper,  standing  it 
on  one  end  of  a  plain  white  card.  A  Cut-out 
S  289  is  made  to  stand  at  the  other  end. 

The  hostess  at  a  St.  Patrick's  Day  luncheon 
or  party  will  be  adorable  arrayed  in  the  sham- 
rock slip-over  costume  illustrated.  Plain 
green  crepe  cut  in  pointed  scallops  which  are 
reinforced  with  wire  on  the  lower  edge  and 
finished  with  shamrocks  cut  from  Crepe  Paper 
S  655  makes  the  skirt,  while  white  and  green 
paper  and  the  figures  found  on  the  decorated 
crepe  are  used  for  both  waist  and  the  cap  with 
its  jaunty  shamrock.

Bunnies  and  Chicks  Hold  Easter  Frolic 


Bunnies  and  rabbits  on  a  see-saw  serve  as  a  decorative  note  which  will 
be  a  source  of  great  delight  to  little  folks,  and  can  be  used  just  as  well  at 
any  time  of  year  as  at  Easter  time.  Pink,  yellow,  lavender  or  light  blue  may 
be  the  principal  color  used. 

The  cardboard  foundation  of  the  "see-saw"  itself  is  covered  with  crushed 
crepe  paper  and  the  animals  cut  from  Decorated  Crepe  E  728  are  reinforced 
with  heavy  wire  and  fastened  in  place. 

The  same  design  may  be  carried  out  in  miniature  for  the  nut  cups,  the 
figures  on  them  being  cut  from  Napkins  E  706.  Chicken  and  rabbit  cut-outs 
fastened  to  the  side  of  a  simple  ruffled  cup  will  also  please  little  tots,  and  the 
napkin  holder  which  uses  the  same  figures  will  prove  amusing. 

When  the  table  itself  is  spread  with  the  table  cover,  napkins  and  paper 
plates  found  in  the  Children's  Party  Set  C  198,  and  the  see-saw,  candy,  bas- 
kets and  napkin  holders  are  put  in  place,  there  is  nothing  left  to  be  desired. 

A  new  and  attractive  way  of  decorating  Easter  eggs  is  to  paint  them  with 
sealing  wax. 

The  entire  egg  may  be  colored,  or  flowers  and  other  designs  may  be  painted 
directly  on  the  shell. 

One  brightly  colored  egg  in  a  "nest"  of  crepe  paper  moss  at  each  place  at 
the  table  will  be  hailed  with  delight.

"April  Showers  Bring  May  Flowers 

Spring  brings  many  flowers  which  suggest  themselves  as  table  decorations 
for  an  Easter  luncheon.  For  the  hostess  who  does  not  care  to  use  tulips, 
jonquils  or  narcissus  there  is  something  quite  different,  but  even  she  cannot 
be  sure  until  the  very  day  of  her  party  what  the  color  scheme  will  be. 

Barometer  flowers  are  the  secret  of  this  uncertainty  and  should  the  day  be 
fair  the  color  will  be  blue,  a  stormy  day  will  produce  pink,  while  unsettled 
weather  will  cause  the  flowers  to  be  lavender. 

The  table  decorations  may  well  combine  these  three  colors.  The  flower 
boxes  have  for  the  foundations  plain  white  boxes.  They  are  decorated  with 
strips  of  black  passe-partout  binding  and  flowers  cut  from  Napkin  No.  280. 
The  color  scheme  is  further  emphasized  by  strings  of  vari-colored  blossoms 
around  the  edge  of  the  table  and  two-color  nut  cups.  The  flower  cups  are 
made  one  pink  and  one  blue  with  a  "bow"  connecting  them. 

In  addition  to  the  flower  place  card,  boutonniere  bouquets 
of  flowers  made  in  pastel  shades  would  be  attractive. 

The  flowers  with  which  the  boxes  are  filled  and  those  used 
for  the  individual  favor  place  cards  are  made  of  white  crepe 
paper  which  has  been  treated  with  a  chemical  solution  which 
will  make  the  paper  change  color  under  varying  atmospheric 
conditions.  Attached  to  the  stem  of  each  place  card  flower 
should  be  this  verse: 

'THE  BAROMETER" 
Keep  this  near  the  window  pane. 
When  PINK  'tis  a  sign  of  storm  or  rain. 
When  the  wind's  in  doubt  as  to  how  to  blow 
The  LAVENDER  color  it  then  will  show. 
But  when  the  skies  are  clear  and  bright 
You'll  find  the  color  BLUE  all  right.

Things  Are  Not  What  They  Seem 

On  April  First.  A  few  simple  ways  to  "fool"  your  guests  will  cause  many  a 
laugh.  An  appropriate  invitation  for  a  party  which  falls  on  this  date  may  be 
made  by  pasting  the  jesters  which  are  printed  on  Napkin 
No.  1022  in  the  corner  of  correspondence  cards.  The  wording  will 
"fool"  the  recipient  if  it  is  printed  backwards.  This  may  be 
done  by  hand  or  on  the  typewriter.  If  the  typewriter  is  used  a 
sheet  of  plain  paper  should  be  on  top,  next  the  invitation  face 
down,  and  then  a  sheet  of  carbon  paper  face  up. 

The  liveliest  jokes  can  be  used  at  the  table,  where 
all  sorts  of  surprises  in  the  way  of  edibles  may  be 
introduced. 

The  first  surprise  will  be  when  the  guests  unfold 
their  napkins  only  to  find  that  they  are  only  skele- 
I    ,     --,.         tons  of  napkins. 
£  f    ^SOT^  Next  sandwiches  are  passed  (made  of  crepe  paper) 

ljj$f> X%J  and  the  "filling"  is  found  to  be  another,  but  this 

>£!L_«-*  _"^~~^j  time  a  whole  napkin. 

Before  the  next  course  the  hostess  announces  that  there 
are  conundrums  to  be  answered  and  paper  and  pencils  are 
passed.  The  pencils  are  made  of  small  wooden  flag  sticks 
sharpened  at  one  end  and  the  point  dipped  in  black  ink. 
The  plain  part  of  the  pencil  should  be  wrapped  with  crepe 
paper;  gray  paper  and  gold  paper  will  make  a  perfect 
eraser. 

A  place  card  made  of  April  Fool  candy  and  wire  and  a 
candy  tree  also  made  of  April  Fool  candy  will  complete  the 
table  decorations. 

The  food  which  is  served  should  look  as  unlike  what  it 
really  is  as  possible,  and  if  soup  looks  like  ice  cream  and 
the  last  course  like  the  first  course  so  much  the  better.  Iced 
bouillon  may  be  served  in  tall  sher- 
bet glasses  with  a  cherry  on  top. 
Other  things  may  be  easily  disguised 
in  the  same  way  and  ice  cream  sand- 
wiches be  the  last  course. 

.^j—.  Balls  of  confetti  made  to  resemble 

f/i\\  clowns  are  attractive  favors  for  a 

f  /    ]  dance.   Confetti  Balls  No.  12  are  the 

foundations     and     a 

ruffle  of  crepe  paper 

and  a  fool's  cap  are 

all    that   are  needed 

after  a  face  has  been 

painted  on  the  ball.

Let's  Go  A-Maying 

The  old  English  custom  of  observing  May  Day  is  becoming  more  widespread 
every  year. 

May  baskets  such  as  those  illustrated,  daintily  decorated  and  filled  with  sweets, 
are  hung  on  doors  while  their  giver  runs  and  hides  before  being  discovered. 

The  most  important  feature  of  a  real  May  Party  is  the  selection  and  crowning 
of  the  May  queen.  She  is  chosen  from  all  the  maidens  of  the  town  as  the  most 
beautiful  and  she  presides  over  all  the  dances  and  sports.  The  May  pole 
must  be  braided  by  children  in  dainty  costumes,  while  fancy  dances,  contests 

skill  complete  the  entertainment.

The  Balcony  in  Patriotic  Dress 


A  decoration  which  is  adaptable  to  many  color  schemes  and  which  may  be 
used  in  a  number  of  different  ways.  Decorated  crepe,  streamers  and  large  cut- 
outs combine  to  make  a  decorative  unit  which  will  be  equally  effective  as  a  wall 
decoration  across  the  front  or  back  of  a  stage,  for  the  upper  part  of  a  booth,  or 
for  the  background  of  a  store  window. 


How  the  Hall  is  Made  Festive 

Although  the  hall  illustrated  on  the  preceding  pages  is  decorated  for  St.  Valentine's 
Day,  the  same  idea  may  be  carried  out  for  any  other  holiday. 

Festoons  and  streamers  always  help  to  achieve  a  desired  color  effect,  while  too  much 
cannot  be  said  in  favor  of  crepe  paper  moss  as  a  decorative  material.  Thrown  over 
natural  branches  or  wires  and  allowed  to  hang  irregularly,  bright  spots  of  color  can  be 
easily  made. 

The  cost  of  materials  for  the  decoration  illustrated  will  be  about  $25.  This  cost  would 
vary  somewhat  according  to  the  size  of  the  hall,  the  number  of  windows  and  the  wall 
spaces  which  were  to  be  decorated.

Favors  for  the  Dancing  Party 


The  idea  of  having  favors  as  a 
means  of  matching  partners  is  one 
which  will  add  to  the  gaiety  of  any 
dance.  The  matching  may  be  done 
in  several  different  ways;  the  favors 
may  match  in  design  or  color  or  may 
be  mated  by  the  use  of  duplicate 
numbers  if  the  party  is  too  large  to 
make  any  other  method  practical. 

The  "daisy  necklace"  has  for  its 
center  a  small  round  mirror  and 
around  it  are  pasted  the  daisy 
petals.  The  corresponding  favor 
may  be  a  daisy  boutonniere. 
Daisies  may  be  made  of  other  colors 
besides  white.  The  color  of  the 
necklace  and  boutonniere  match. 

Flower  regalia  are  worn  by  both 
ladies  and  gentlemen;  there  should 
be  two  of  each  color. 

The  gay  "jazz"  bracelet,  with  its 
jangling  bells  and  bright  colored 
streamers,  matches  the  gentleman's 
collar. 

A  red,  white  and  blue  wand  finds 
a  corresponding  note  in  the  badge 
of  the  same  colors. 

Hats  and  crowns  are  always  pop- 
ular and  may  be  made  in  an  endless 
variety  of  styles.  Two  of  each  color 
or  style  will  prove  attractive. 

Any  of  the  hats  illustrated  on 
pages  22  and  23  as  part  of  the  cos- 
tumes may  be  used  separately  for 
favors.  They  may  be  made  exactly 
as  pictured  or  simplified  so  that  they 
will  be  easy  to  make  in  large 
quantities.

Costumes  for  Many  Gay  Parties 

Bright  green  streamers  and  tiny  shamrocks  trans- 
form a  simple  white  frock  into  a  gay  costume.  If  the 
party  were  on  St.  Valentine's  Day,  red  hearts  and 
Cupids  would  be  needed. 

If  a  patriotic  note  must  be  sounded,  Eagle  and  Flag 
Crepe  P  557  combined  with  red,  white  and  blue  will 
make  a  charming  slip-over,  or  red,  white  and  blue  can 
be  used  in  about  the  same  way  but  producing  a  very 
different  effect  as  shown  in  costume  No.  5. 

An  easily  made  slip-over  for  a 
man's  costume  is  made  of  red  with 
many  hearts  for  decoration. 

Double  ruffles  of  emerald  green 
and  white  rolled  on  the  edges  will 
be  very  different  and  easy  to  accom- 
plish. The  large  shamrock  which 
trims  the  hat  also  has  the  rolled  edge.

A  tiny  child  or  a  grown-up  will  be  equally  attractive 
dressed  in  a  slip-over  topped  with  a  huge  ruffled  heart. 
The  pointed  hat  carries  out  the  "clown"  idea. 

"Baby  Valentine"  is  very  sweet  in  her  dainty  pink 
and  white  dress.  The  valentine  itself  can  be  made 
elaborate  or  simple  as  occasion  requires,  and  even  a  big 
girl  can  wear  a  costume  made  in  just  the  same  style. 

Double  ruffles  of  Decorated  Crepe  S  656  and  fine 
green  fringe  will  be  an  attractive  partner  for  the  artist 
in  his  green  shamrock  smock. 

A  wired  hoop  with  pendant 
pompons  of  red,  white  and  blue 
makes  a  very  chic  costume  which 
vies  in  attractiveness  with  the 
valentine  costume  with  quaint 
panniers  at  the  sides.

each  of  the  costumes  pictured

Each  Holiday  in  Its  Own 
Special  Attire 

The  church  supper,  club  tea,  bazaar  or 
entertainment  which  is  to  be  held  at  any  time 
from  early  in  January  until  after  the  Fourth 
of  July  cannot  help  being  near  the  date  of 
some  holiday  and  this  gives  an  opportunity 
for  special  decorations. 

Who  would  not  enjoy  her  tea  more  if  it 
were  served  by  charming  "Miss  Valentine"? 

The  slip-over  apron,  trimmed  with  red 
hearts,  can  be  made  just  as  attractive  if 
trimmed  with  shamrocks  and  green  ribbons 
or  with  shields  and  gay  tricolored  streamers. 
A  simpler  apron  with  "Cupids  and  lovers" 
is  made  by  combining  Decorated  Crepe  V  462 
with  plain  white.  This  apron  also  can  be 
made  with  other  symbols  and  color  combina- 
tions. 

Suggestive  of  the  holiday  are  Uncle  Sam's 
hat  and  Miss  Columbia's  cap.  For  either  of 

these  Decorated  Crepe  P  25  is 

used.    Black  mat  stock  makes 

the  foundation  for  both  George 

Washington's  tricornered  hat 

and  "Paddy's"  tall  hat. 

Martha  Washington's  mob 

cap   and   the    Irish   colleen's 

bonnet  are  made  just  alike, 

except  that  the  Irish  bonnet 

has  a  ruffle  which  should  be 

shorter  in  front  and  graduated 

to  a  deeper  ruffle  at  the  back. 
An  emerald  green  bow 

and  band  will  make  its 

ownership  a  subject  of  no 

doubt.

Costume  Description 


Most  costumes  are  made  over  a  muslin  foundation  and  the  crepe  paper  sewed 
or  pasted  directly  to  it  as  seems  best. 

For  this  kind  of  costume  regular  dress  patterns  are  sometimes  used,  but  they 
are  not  often  necessary.  The  paper  may  be  sewed  by  hand  or  on  the  sewing 
machine. 

The  slip-over  costume  is  a  style  which  is  very  popular,  perhaps  because  it  is 
much  less  work  than  a  complete  dress.  It  is  what  its  name  implies,  and  is  worn 
over  any  simple  frock,  preferably  a  white  one,  although  a  colored  one  may  be 
used  to  carry  out  some  particular  scheme. 

The  foundation  of  the  slip-over  costume  is  a  full  width  of  crepe  paper  of  suffi- 
cient length  to  reach  from  shoulder  to  bottom  of  skirt  both  front  and  back.  To 
this  foundation  are  attached  ruffles,  streamers  or  cut-out  designs. 

There  are  many  variations  possible  for  this  type  of  costume.  Often  a  costume 
for  a  man  may  be  in  the  form  of  a  slip-over.  This  permits  the  wearing  of  the  regu- 
lar suit  and  if  desirable  the  "costume"  may  indeed  be  "slipped  over"  and  in  a 
jiffy  Mr.  Man  appears  in  conventional  evening  dress. 

Any  of  the  costumes  illustrated  may  be  easily  adapted  to  another  holiday  by 
the  use  of  appropriate  colors  and  designs.

Games  for  Gala  Gatherings 

One  of  the  hardest  questions  to  decide  is  what  games  to  have  at  a  party. 
If  the  first  two  or  three  are  appropriate  to  the  holiday  on  which  the  party 
is  given,  the  rest  may  be  just  "good  fun"  regardless  of  the  holiday. 

A  good  game  to  start  the  evening's  fun,  particularly  if  the  group  is  large 
and  not  well  acquainted  with  one  another,  is: 

Gossip 

A  circle  is  formed  with  one  or  two  people  in  the  center.  It  is  their  object  to  get 
out,  and  to  keep  them  from  doing  so  the  people  in  the  circle  must  know  the  name, 
occupation  and  some  piece  of  gossip  about  both  of  his  neighbors.  At  a  signal 
from  the  leader  each  one  in  the  center  points  to  some  person  and  asks  him  to 
give  the  required  information  about  both  his  neighbors.  If  he  fails  he  goes  into 
the  center.  The  "gossip"  as  it  is  given  originally  by  one's  self  may  be  made  up 
for  the  occasion  and  be  very  amusing.  At  the  command  "Change  your  neigh- 
bors," all  change  places  and  this  is  also  an  opportunity  for  those  inside  the  circle 
to  get  out  into  the  circle  itself. 

This  game  should  be  played  but  a  few  minutes,  just  long  enough  for  all  to  learn 
the  names  of  the  others. 

Is  Your  Aim  as  True  as  Cupid's? 

Whether  each  girl  in  the  party  is  to  be  married  or  remain 
single  can  be  proven  by  her  ability  to  "shoot"  Cupid's  arrow 
through  a  wedding  ring. 

Attach  a  plain  ring  to  a  string  and  suspend  it  at  a  height 
of  about  five  feet.  Each  contestant  is  asked  to  stand  at  a 
distance  of  ten  feet  and  point  a  pencil  at  the  center  of  the 
ring.  She  must  then  walk  rapidly  toward  the  ring  and  try  to 
put  the  pencil  through  it. 

The  same  position  which  was  assumed  when  the  aim  was 
taken  must  be  rigidly  held.  "Feathers"  of  bright  red  mat  stock 
may  be  attached  to  the  tops  of  the  pencils,  and  if  the  pencils 
themselves  are  red  they  will  make  attractive  favors. 


Potato  Race 

Each  player  is  to  balance  a  potato  (the  rounder 
the  better)  on  the  end  of  a  yardstick. 

The  stick  is  to  be  held  so  that  the  hands  do  not 
reach  beyond  the  first  six  inches  at  the  very  most. 

A  prize  is  awarded  to  the  one  who  first  reaches 
the  goal  without  dropping  the  potato. 

Love  Is  But  a  Bubble 

Suspend  a  large  red  heart  from  the  chandelier  so 
that  it  will  be  about  a  foot  above  the  heads  of  the 
players.  A  bowl  of  soapy  water  is  provided,  also  a 
clay  pipe  for  each  player. 

Standing  four  or  five  feet  away  each  one  in  turn, 
for  a  given  number  of  turns,  blows  a  bubble  and 
tries  to  float  it  so  that  it  will  hit  the  heart. 

A  prize  is  given  the  most  successful.

Cupid's  Art  Gallery 

Give  each  guest  a  piece  of  white  cotton  cloth,  five  inches  by  eight  inches,  with 
the  name  of  one  of  the  following  subjects  typewritten  at  the  top. 
Cupid  The  Love  Nest 

The  Ideal  Lover  The  Proposal 

A  needle  threaded  with  black  silkateen  is  also  given  to  each  one.    The  "pic- 
tures" are  to  be  made  with  outlines  of  black  thread. 

At  the  end  of  fifteen  minutes  they  are  collected,  the  various  kinds  separated 
and  each  group  pinned  up  on  strings  in  different  parts  of  the  room,  where  they  are 
judged.  The  judging  should  be  done  by  two  or 
three  people,  and  their  comments  on  style  and 
technique  will  add  to  the  fun. 

There  should  be  a  prize  for  each  group  of  subjects. 

This  game  may  be  easily  adapted  to  other  holi- 
days by  changing  the  subjects  of  the  pictures. 

Eggshell  Race 

The  contents  of  eggs  are  blown  out  of  the  shells 
and  each  one  colored  differently.    Each  contestant 
is  given  a  colored  egg  and  a  small  fan.    The  egg- — 
shells  must  be  fanned  to  a  given  point  and  back  to 
the  starting  point. 

Green  Conundrums 

Small  cards  decorated  with  shamrock  seals  should  have  written  on  them  these 
conundrums  to  be  answered  with  words  containing  "green": 


1.  A  variety  of  plum 

2.  A  raw  youth 

3.  A  retailer  of  fresh  vegetables 

4.  Part  of  a  theater 

5.  Death  to  insects 

6.  Almost  always  fatal 

1.  Greengage  4.  Greenroom 

2.  Greenhorn  5.  Paris  green 

3.  Greengrocer  6.  Gangrene 


7.  Kind  of  apple 

8.  Kind  of  shrub 

9.  A  country 

10.  A  place  where  plants  are  kept 

11.  Turf  with  grass 

12.  Mountains  in  New  England 

7.  Greening  10.  Greenhouse 

8.  Greenbrier  11.  Greensward 

9.  Greenland  12.  Green  Mountains 

This  Is  My  Nose 

(A  Good  April  Fool  Game) 
The  leader  says,  "This  is  my  nose,"  but 
points  to  her  knee.  At  the  same  time  she 
points  with  her  other  hand  to  someone  in  the 
group.  The  one  to  whom  she  has  pointed 
must  point  to  his  knee  and  say,  "This  is  my 
nose"  before  the  leader  can  count  ten.  The 
leader  continues  pointing  to  various  parts 
of  the  body  and  calling  by  the  name  of  some  other  part.  Those  who  do  not 
answer  correctly  or  before  the  leader  counts  ten  must  drop  out. 

Costumes 

Prepare  a  collection  of  various  materials  such  as  folds  of  crepe  paper,  both  plain 
colors  and  decorated  designs,  ribbons,  hats,  pins,  scissors,  and  any  other  materials 
from  which  costumes  might  be  made.  Assign  partners  and  give  fifteen  minutes 
in  which  each  couple  shall  make  a  costume  for  either  one  or  the  other.  The  cos- 
tumes may  be  all  one  kind,  "Cupid"  for  instance,  or  to  each  may  be  assigned  dif- 
ferent months  of  the  year,  different  nations  or  historical  characters.

Features  for  Dances  and  Parties 

While  favors  are  often  used  as  a  means  of  matching  partners,  there  are  often 
times  when  a  simpler  way  is  preferable. 

A  Bluebird  Flight 

For  an  Easter  Dance  or  a  May  Party  a  pretty  feature  may  be  introduced,  but 
it  can  be  used  successfully  only  in  a  hall  which  has  a  balcony  from  which  the  birds 
may  fly. 

A  small  numbered  card  with  a  bluebird  seal  attached  is  given  to  each  girl.  At 
a  signal,  bluebirds  cut  from  Decorated  Crepe  331  which  have  been  mounted  on 
cardboard  or  reinforced  with  wire  and  also  numbered  are  tossed  from  the  bal- 
cony; as  they  flutter  down  the  boys  try  to  catch  them  and  find  the  girl  with  the 
corresponding  number.  Butterfly  seals  and  butterfly  design  crepe  may  be  used 
in  the  same  way. 

Cupid's  Heart  Tree 

An  attractive  decorative  note  which  may 
also  be  used  for  matching  partners  is  "  Cupid's 
Heart  Tree."  Two  bushes  may  be  made  and 
stood  one  on  either  side  of  the  stage,  or  one 
will  answer  if  the  hearts  for  the  ladies  and 
gentlemen  are  different  colors.  A  real  shrub 
or  branch  of  a  tree  may  be  used,  or  the 
"Bush"  may  be  made  of  crepe  paper  and 
wire.  When  natural  branches  are  used  they 
should  be  stripped  of  their  leaves  and  those 
made  of  crepe  paper  used.  Two  hearts  about 
two  inches  in  diameter  made  of  heavy  colored 
paper  or  light  weight  cardboard  should  be 
pasted  together  all  the  way  around  except  at 
the  top,  and  the  end  of  a  twig  slipped  be- 
tween the  two.  Each  heart  is  numbered  and 
at  a  given  signal  the  ladies  pick  the  hearts 
from  one  tree  and  the  gentlemen  pick  theirs 
from  the  other.  The  numbers  on  the  two 
trees  should  match.  When  one  tree  is  used, 
the  hearts  should  be  two  different  colors. 

A  Picnic  Luncheon 

This  will  be  great  fun  as  an  unusual  way  of  serving  refreshments  at  a  social. 
Each  girl  is  to  bring  a  decorated  basket  containing  luncheon  for  two  people. 

Just  before  the  refreshments  are  to  be  served  chairs  should  be  arranged  around 
the  room  in  groups  of  four  or  eight.  Above  each  group  is  fastened  a  card  with  the 
name  of  some  local  summer  resort,  spelled  with  misplaced  letters,  such  as  Yocen 
Isandl  (Coney  Island),  etc.  Cards  are  given  to  each  guest,  who  has  five  to  ten 
minutes  to  guess  the  names  of  the  places. 

The  baskets  in  the  meanwhile  have  had  numbers  attached  to  their  handles  and 
when  the  guessing  contest  is  over  the  owners  of  baskets  with  number  one  attached 
are  to  picnic  at  Coney  Island,  all  those  with  number  two  at  Atlantic  City,  etc. 

The  baskets  may  then  be  auctioned  off  to  the  men,  who  find  the  original  owner 
of  each  basket.    They  then  proceed  to  their  picnic  place  and  join  the  rest  of  the 
group.

General  Instructions  for  Using 
Dennison  Crepe  Paper 

Before  starting  to  work  have  all  materials  and  tools  handy,  —  scissors,  hammer, 
pins,  tacks,  paste  and  wire. 

Work  for  effect.  Do  not  putter  over  details.  Get  the  general  decoration  fin- 
ished, then  if  time  permits,  give  fine  touches. 

Remember  that  decorations  must  come  down  and  use  very  small  tacks  and 
drive  in  only  part  way. 

Wire  is  better  than  string  for  attaching  decorations.  Two  twists  hold  when 
string  would  be  apt  to  slip  and  be  hard  to  tie. 

Crepe  paper  is  almost  always  stretched  a  little  before 
using.  This  should  be  done  by  two  people,  one  at  either 
end  of  the  paper.  First,  double  the  end  over  once  or  twice, 
or,  better  still,  roll  it  over  a  ruler  or  stick  so  that  it  will  not 
tear  and  then  pull  steadily  until  it  is  sufficiently  stretched. 

To  cut  a  strip  of  crepe  paper,  slip  it  part  way  from  the 
packet,  measure  the  desired  width  and,  using  the  edge  of 
the  packet  as  a  guide,  cut  through  the  entire  thickness. 
(Illustration  No.  1.)  Illus.  No.  i 

To  make  rows  of  petals  or  scallops,  cut  the  paper  the  correct  width  through  the 
entire  fold,  unfold  and  starting  with  the  two  ends  together,  redouble  until  there 
are  eight  thicknesses,  cut  the  paper  through  all  thicknesses,  leaving  two  or  three 
inches  at  the  top  uncut.  Then  unfold. 

To  make  fluted  edge,  hold  the  edge  of  the  crepe 
paper  between  the  thumbs  and  forefingers,  then 
push  away  with  the  left  thumb  and  pull  forward 
with  the  right  forefinger.  Move  the  crepe  a  bit  and 
repeat  until  the  whole  strip  is  fluted.  Fluting  may 
sometimes  be  done  to  several  thicknesses  of  crepe 
paper  at  one  time.  (Illustration  No.  2.) 

Fringed  crepe.  For  decorative  purposes  almost  all  fringe  is  cut  across  the  grain 
of  the  paper.  Strips  of  fringe  20  inches  long  and  any  depth  up  to  the  whole  ten 
feet  of  the  fold  may  be  made.  Unfold,  stretch,  and  cut  off  pieces  the  required 
depth  for  the  fringe.  Fold  the  lower  edge  up  to  within  an  inch  of  the  top.  Re- 
double several  times,  then  beginning  at  the  right-hand  edge,  cut  the  fringe  as 
fine  as  desired,  cutting  through  all  the  thicknesses  but  leaving  the  1-inch  heading 
uncut.  Shake  out  and  stretch,  then  even  off 
Use  as  many  thicknesses  as  necessary  to  give 
the  right  effect.  (Illustration  No.  3.) 


Illus.  No.  2 


Illus.  No.  3 


To  wrap  wire.  Cut  a  strip  of  crepe  paper 
across  the  grain  through  the  entire  fold  from 
Yi  inch  to  2  inches  wide,  according  to  the  size 
and  length  of  the  wire  to  be  wrapped.  Put  a 
little  paste  on  the  end  of  the  wire  and  wind  the 
strip  around  two  or  three  times  very  tightly, 
then  holding  the  wire  in  the  right  hand,  twirl  it  round  and  round.  At  the  same 
time,  with  the  left  hand,  guide  the  paper,  slanting  it  down  and  stretching  it  so 
that  it  will  wrap  the  wire  smoothly.  When  the  end  of  the  wire  is  reached,  cut  off 
the  paper  and  fasten  the  end  with  paste.
